There are lots of Eric Hills in the world. Here's a short list of some of the online ones.

I get a lot of hits in search of the childrens' books author named Eric Hill; I'm not him. I've heard good reviews of him, but I'm only barely young enough to have enjoyed Richard Scary's books before I was too old to look too silly.

Also out there is:

• a former NFL player
• a musician
• another musician
• and a lawyer

For Erics in general, there's the non-existent Eric Conspiracy

Interestingly, at the Xanadu Operating Company office warming party on May 22, 1988, five of the first seven people to arrive were Erics:

• me
• Eric Dean Tribble
• K. Eric Drexler
• Erik Fair (a "k"-Eric, but phonetically correct)
• and not least Eric Raymond

The other two were Roger Gregory and Roland King.

I used to get a lots of hits from people looking for Stochastic International, an Australian firm which now seems defunct.

Finally, if you're actually looking for information on stochastic processes and the like, at this time I'm afraid that I can't claim to have much expertise in that area, even though I do make use of it sometimes.
